Store Owner Closes Shop, But Not Before Sending THIS Message To ‘Obamaville’

A Kansas furniture store owner who is closing down his business has chosen a rather colorful way to express his gratitude for the community.

Bob Fyfe, owner of Payless Furniture in Lawrence, Kan., put a red truck outside of his establishment earlier this month with a sign reading, “Lawrence: Commie & Candy A** Capitol of Kansas.” Below it in larger text reads: “Goodbye Obamaville” with a hammer and sickle inside of the ‘O’ in “Obamaville.”

Douglas County, where Lawrence is located, voted overwhelmingly for President Obama in 2012, even though Kansas swung decisively for Mitt Romney. Lawrence is also home to the University of Kansas.

The Daily Mail pointed out there was additional signage on the truck, including one that said “Restore Freedom. Reject Marxism. Even Retards Want To Be Free.”

“There’s things that you can’t say that are really harmless words. They’re just words,” Fyfe told Fox affiliate WDAF. “They don’t call it Snobville for nothing. You get a lot of kids here from Johnson County, you know rich kids.”

The Kansas City affiliate noted that the truck caused many people to stop by and take photos, some in support and others in protest. “I don’t want people to be stopping and putting this kind of thing on Facebook and blowing it up to be a big thing,” said protester Adam Dorssom. “Pay no mind to worthless bigots.”

Feelings between people like Dorssom and Fyfe appear to be mutual. “It’s just a bummer being around these people, and I want to be around people that are freer, and they love their country, and they believe in work,” Fyfe said.
